Read full description of the books:

I loved this little novella of short stories when I was a kid, so my review might be a little skewed based on nostalgic value. But these stories were all incredibly well-written, easy for kids to read but not too limited. The story about Spike (the bulldog) taught me just how cruel people can be to animals and taught me about the purpose of animal shelters so now I often donate loose change to pet shelters in town. This book is not only eerie and gripping, it also had valuable moral lessons in it for kids.
